1 Manasseh teh siangpahrang lah ao nah, kum 12 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 55 siangpahrang lah ao. A manu min teh Hephzibah doeh.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.
2 Isarel catounnaw hmalah BAWIPA ni a pâlei e miphunnaw ni panuettho e hnokahawi hoeh e ouk a sak awh e naw hah BAWIPA mithmu vah ouk a sak awh.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land of Israel as his people advanced [through the land].
3 Bangtelane tetpawiteh, A na pa Hezekiah ni a raphoe e hmuenrasang hah bout a sak dawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang Ahab ni ouk a sak e Baal bawknae khoungroe lah bout kangdue teh thingmeikaphawk a sak awh, kalvan kaawmnaw pueng hah a bawk awh teh a thaw hah a tawk pouh awh.
He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping Yahweh] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed [because they were not in the place that Yahweh had said they should worship him]. He directed his workers to build altars for worshiping Baal. He made [a statue of the goddess] Asherah, like Ahab the king of Israel had done [previously]. And Manasseh worshiped [DOU] the stars.
4 BAWIPA ni Jerusalem vah ka min ka o sak han ati e patetlah BAWIPA im vah thuengnae khoungroe a sak awh.
He directed his workers to build altars [for worshiping foreign gods] in the temple of Yahweh, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem where I want people to worship [MTY] me, forever.”
5 BAWIPA bawknae im thongma kahni touh dawkvah, kalvan âsinaw bawk nahanelah thuengnae khouengroe a sak awh.
He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.

He even sacrificed his own son by burning [him in a fire]. He performed rituals to practice sorcery and magic rituals. He also went to people who consulted the spirits of dead people to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered to be extremely evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
7 BAWIPA ni, Devit hoi a capa Solomon koevah hete im hoi Jerusalem, Isarel miphunnaw pueng thung hoi ka rawi e dawkvah, ka min teh yungyoe ka o sak vaiteh,
He placed the statue of the goddess Asherah in the temple, the place about which Yahweh had said to David and his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem. This is the city that I have chosen from all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel, where I want people to worship me, forever.
8 Kâ na poe e pueng hoi ka san Mosi koe kâ ka poe e naw pueng patetlah na tarawi awh pawiteh, na mintoenaw koe ka poe tangcoung e, ram thungup hai Isarelnaw teh nâtuek hai a khok paheng sak mahoeh atipouh e imthung vah, thingmeikaphawk a sak awh e hah a ta awh.
And if the Israeli people obey all my commands and all the laws that I gave to Moses, the man who served me [very well], I will not again force them to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
9 Hatei banglahai noutna awh hoeh teh, BAWIPA ni Isarel catounnaw hmalah a pâlei awh e miphunnaw ni a sak awh e hlak hai ka mathout lah sak hanlah, Manasseh ni ayânaw a pasawt.
But the people did not heed Yahweh. And Manasseh persuaded them to commit sins that are more evil than the sins that were committed by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land as the Israeli people advanced.
10 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a san profet hno lahoi a dei e teh,
[These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
11 Judah siangpahrang Manasseh ni, het hloi e panuettho e hno hah ayan vah Amornaw hlak hai hoe ka nut lah a sak awh teh Judahnaw hah meikaphawk hno lahoi yonnae a saksak.
“Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done these abominable things, things that are much worse than the things that the Amor people-group did in this land long ago. He has persuaded the people of Judah to sin by [worshiping] idols.
12 Hatdawkvah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni, hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Jerusalem hoi Judahnaw koe kamthang ka thai tangkuem koe a hnâ kahni touh hoi hoe ka tâdeng sak han.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people worship, say: I will the cause the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah to experience great disasters. It will be terrible, with the result that everyone who hears about it will be stunned [MTY].
13 Jerusalem khopui koe Samaria bangnuenae rui hoi Ahab imthungnaw ka bangnue e patetlah, Jerusalem ka bangnue han. Ailo pâle hnukkhu det pakhup e patetlah ka ta han.
I will judge and punish [MET] the people of Jerusalem like I punished the family of King Ahab [of Israel]. I will (wipe Jerusalem clean/remove all the people from Jerusalem), like [MET] people wipe a plate and then turn it upside down [after they have finished eating, to show that they are now satisfied].
14 Kacawie hnonaw teh ka tâkhawng vaiteh a taran kut dawk ka poe pouh han. Hottelah, a na mintoenaw Izip ram hoi a tâco hnin hoi sahnin totouh ka mithmu vah, hnokathout a sak awh teh ka lungkhueknae na pahrue awh toe telah ati.
And I will abandon the people who remain alive, and I will allow their enemies to conquer them and steal everything valuable from their land.
15 Hatdawkvah, mintoenaw ni, Izip ram hoi na tâconae hnin hoi sahnin totouh nangmae catounnaw ni kai ka hmalah, yonnae doeh pou na sak awh.
I will do this because my people have done things that I consider to be very evil, things which have caused me to become very angry. They have caused me to become angry continually, ever since their ancestors left Egypt.”
16 Hothloilah BAWIPA mithmu vah, hawihoehnae hah a sak awh teh Judahnaw pueng yonnae a saksak hloilah, Jerusalem avangvanglah totouh, Manasseh ni yon ka tawn hoeh naw e thi moi a palawng.
Manasseh [commanded his officials to] kill many innocent people in Jerusalem, with the result that their blood flowed in the streets. He did this in addition to persuading the people of Judah to sin against Yahweh [by worshiping idols].
17 Hahoi Manasseh tawksaknae hoi kaawm rae, yon a sak e naw teh Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk thut e lah ao nahoehmaw.
[If you want to know more about] all the things that Manasseh did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
18 Manasseh teh a na mintoenaw koe a kâhat teh, Uzziah takha amae imteng vah a pakawp awh. Hahoi a capa Amon ni a yueng lah a uk.
Manasseh died [EUP] and was buried in the garden outside his palace, the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Manasseh’s son Amon became the king.
19 Amon teh siangpahrang lah ao nah kum 22 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 2 touh a bawi, a manu min teh Meshullemeth, Jotbah kho e Haruz canu doeh.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He ruled Judah from Jerusalem for [only] two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth. She was from Jotbah [town], and was the granddaughter of Haruz.
20 A na pa Manasseh ni, ouk a sak e patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae a sak.
Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
21 A na pa ni a dawn e lamnaw hah a dawn van teh, a na pa ni meikaphawk thaw a tawk e hah a tawk teh a bawk.
He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
22 A na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut a ceitakhai teh BAWIPA lamthung dawn hoeh.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
23 Amon e a taminaw ni pouk a youk awh teh, siangpahrang teh ama im vah a thei awh.
Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
24 Hatei hote ram e taminaw ni pouk ka youk e Amon e taminaw pueng hah be a thei awh. Hahoi teh hote ram e taminaw ni a capa Josiah teh a yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk sak awh.
But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated King Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
